| - Very lovely boutique hotel! I really enjoyed staying here and would not hesitate to do it again in the future. The staff was friendly (especially the lovely lady who blessed us with free guacamole from the restaurant during the FREE snack time after 10pm which includes everything chocolate, chips, sodas and more), our room, which was considered a Jr. Suite, was incredibly roomy and decorated in a very modern 70's decor just like the rest of the place. Bright colors, very specific detailing, including bathroom products from Philosophy and Aveda, great choices of flavorful coffee pods for the Keurig coffee maker with flavored creamer, lamps from Ikea and incredible Arizona location photography on the walls. I was also intrigued by the use of blue glass throughout, including the asphalt in the parking area!!!...I'm a sucker for detail!
Another plus of the Clarendon is their beautifully thought out pool redo from a very obvious apartment complex pool throw back! They were able to implement an incredible wall of water and split what was a boring oblong pool into one amazing jacuzzi area. And when you're tired of that you can hike up 5 flights of stairs to their rooftop seating/bar area for an amazing view of the city lights.
I really did enjoy this place. Only downside is the thin walls and old school windows which let in a lot of noise and cold air (it's cold in Phoenix in the winter). Other than that, I can't wait to come back.
